The Monastic Garden

We invite you to take time for reflection today. In our busy world, it is sometimes so difficult to find even one minute to pause, to center or to quiet ourselves. Below is a one minute video where you can hear (and see) our Monastic Garden Chimes ringing in the wind. We hope their music will bless your day!

Benedictine Prayer for Peace

St. Benedict, you were a man of peace. You walked the path of peace your whole life long and led all who came to you into the ways of peace. Help us, St. Benedict, to achieve peace: peace in our hearts, peace in our homes,peace in our sorely troubled world.
Through your powerful intercession with God help us to be peace-makers. Aid us to work for peace,to take the first step in ending bitterness, to be the first to hold out our hands in friendship and forgiveness.
Beg God to let peace permeate our lives so that they may be lived in grace and love. At the end of our lives obtain for us theReward of the peacemakers, the eternal blessed vision of God in heaven.
Amen.
